Per Sandin

I am an associate professor/reader ('docent') in philosophy, with broad interests in moral philosophy and applied ethics, for instance the ethics of crises and disasters. My philosophical outlook is generally within the analytic tradition. Teaching extensively on environmental ethics, research ethics, etc.

I am also a member of the Swedish Ethical Review Authority and an deputy member of the Swedish Gene Technology Advisory Board.

I contribute ethics lectures and exercises to several programs. I am also responsible for organzing research ethics/philosophy of science courses for PhD students. Search "ethics" in the SLU course database if you are interested in participating"
